[Elecraft] Problem With Getting CW To Work

[Don Wilhelm]

This question seems to be the one asked  more than any other on this 
reflector.  See the manual page 46 for "Transmit Crystal Filter 
Selection (per-mode)"

ERR TXF indicates that you do not have the correct transmit filter 
configured.  The TX filter for CW must be the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz filter (SSB 
too).

You can use the menu to set the transmit filter for each mode, or use 
the K3 Utility to do it for you.
The transmit filter must be set for each mode - to do it in the menu, go 
to CONFIG: FLTX  - tap the mode switch to check the filter for each mode 
- if it is not correct, use the VFO A knob to change it.
